Question

A container is filled with a sample of gas having n molecules with speed α, 2α, 3α, .... nα. The ratio of average speed to root mean square speed is​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The root mean square speed of n individual molecular speeds vrms=1n(v21+v22+…..+v2n)−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−√

Average speed:

vaverage=1n(v1+v2+…..+vn)
